About these units
Zip 250 (Zip 250)
The Zip 250 increased capacity to 250 MB, improving on the Zip 100 line while retaining backward compatibility. It served as a bridge to larger removable storage formats and remained popular until USB flash drives took over the portable storage market. Designers, schools, and offices used Zip 250 disks for medium-sized multimedia projects, backups, and file transfers. Its existence illustrates the rapid pace of storage innovation—and how even seemingly large capacities were quickly eclipsed.
Floppy Disk (3.5", HD) (floppy (3.5" HD))
The 3.5-inch High Density (HD) floppy stored 1.44 MB, becoming one of the most iconic storage formats of the 1990s. HD floppies were ubiquitous—used for school assignments, office documents, driver disks, BIOS updates, and even early game installations. Their capacity was sufficient for word processing files, spreadsheets, and modest multimedia content of the era. Although minuscule by modern standards, the HD floppy revolutionized everyday computing by offering a cheap, standardized, nearly universal storage medium. Its influence persisted until USB drives and CDs supplanted it in the early 2000s.
